That's a very good point, one that I really didn't want to hear, but good none the less. I'm going to spend some time looking into PCI compliance, but maybe I can find a PaaS where I can create a hosted store, on a PCI compliant server, that looks exactly the way I want. I'm sort of a control freak and despise the way paypal looks, so I have to find something besides their hosted checkout...
